Static band

ABSTRACT

I created the Static Band from a combination of my life&#39;s elements; exercise, stability and meditation. Through this process, I developed equipment that would help me run safely on a treadmill while I kept my eyes closed. With the utility of my invention, it serves a range of advantages such as stopping the swaying from side-to-side and allowing people with poor vision to exercise comfortably. My invention can serve multiple purposes from your personal health, for the handicap, to build your mental strength, insuring your comfortability and even for safety precaution. Not only does it stop the side-to-side motion but it can also increase your intensity by the restriction of the backwards movement encouraging you to keep pushing while it eliminates visible distractions around you in case of discomfort.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

In my search and analysis of treadmill equipment, I did not find manytools that assist people while exercising on a treadmill machine. Thefew products I came across along with my invention “Static Band” hold incommon a type of harness belt and its own way in helping individuals ona treadmill. One item I found reduced the falling off injuries and armbumping of a treadmill console by its ability to adjust its distancefrom the treadmill console. Another product keeps patients harnesseddown, in a up lifted position of walking for people whose legs mightcollapse while exercising and the other product the “Anti-Gravitytreadmill” (serial number 77277492) reduced the amount of pressure on aperson's joints while exercising on its specialized treadmill machine.In my research, they fail to explain any other functions of theirinventions. What makes my invention unique is its lightweight durabilityand beneficial value. It creates a safely secured, peaceful, reusableexperience to your cardiovascular exercise on a treadmill. The StaticBand is a great piece of equipment that will give individuals asatisfying experience and create a unique way for treadmill exercise.
